The truth is what he said. He can't support all people being equal in case he loses members and influence in countries where governments, aided and abetted by his church, persecute their people.

It's simple enough.

Even simple enough for his own predecessor to distance himself from it.

If he has any shame, any moral conviction whatsoever, he should say that everybody has a right to be married and all marriage has the same value, and those who say a God is agin it are abusing the concept of God in the first place.

But he won't. He says nice things to gay people in the same way I say nice things to my dog.

Insignificant little hypocrite. No need to disestablish the church, it is marginalising itself without the help of rational people.

Why worry about Islamic radicals when even one of the least radical Christian cults can't bring itself to see others as equals? Islamic terrorists may have guerrilla tactics to further their cause, but CofE have votes in the upper house. Politicians go around saying this is a Christian country. Fucking scary or what?

At least his predecessor got it right. A post Christian country. You can't ignore your heritage and inheritance but as Clement Atlee said, you don't need the mumbo jumbo.
